Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts is the first art museum specialized by an art university in Taiwan. KdMoFA protrudes itself by organizing exhibitions over the Taiwanese or Asian issues as well as hosting the Kuandu Biennale starting from 2008. The conceptual model of the museum is to be an academic, and at the same time, communal art museum while serving the bridge between the university and the local communities in order to play the significant role as both the professional artistic and social educator. Moreover, by extending the track from foreign artistic groups through exhibitions, it attempts to serve as the platform for international dialogue.
